]]> Freshman Shawn Grant led UMBC with 17 points while Adrian Satchell recorded a double-double with 14 points and 12 rebounds in their first America East Conference Tournament.

UMBC fell behind Vermont fast. They fell behind 13-2 just four minutes into the game and UMBC was just trying too hard and forcing shots, passes, and were over pursuing on defense.

They were down 40-26 at the half and could not get back into the game in the second half. Chris De La Rosa was playing the game on a sprained ankle and scored 10 points and had six assists.

Further coverage of this game will be featured in the March 9 Issue of The Retriever Weekly.

]]> It was announced last night that Binghamton self-imposed a sanction and removed themselves from the America East Conference Tournament after a several week audit of the athletic program released a 102 page report with violations and wrong doings. Their exclusion from the tournament has cut the tournament to eight teams, meaning UMBC has moved up to the seventh seed and will play Vermont on Saturday at 6:00 p.m.
